Blue hats topped the heads of many TRU students on January 31st as the University hosted events for the 8th annual Bell Let’s Talk Day. While most gathered outside of Old Main to roast marshmallows by the campfire and sign a large Bell Let’s Talk poster, others stayed inside to talk with Wellness Centre representatives and other students about the issues surrounding mental health.

With Bell’s annual awareness event seeing more interaction every year with the number of messages of support in 2017 being over 138,000,000 compared to 2016’s roughly 125,000,000, the local TRU community felt especially proud to participate in the cause.
